Indian Captain SHUBMAN GILL (AP Photo/Jon Super) SHUBMAN GILL created history in Old Trafford and became the first Asian body to score over 700 runs in one test series in England. His monument came on the day of the 5th day of the fourth test, during another bold knocking that underlined his growing figure in an international cricket. With this performance, a 25 -year -old man not only broke the new land for Asian dough, but also entered the prestigious Captains Club of tests who collected 700 or more runs in the series. The list contains some of the biggest names in cricket history – Sir Donald Bradman (twice), Sir Garfield Sobers, Greg Chapppell, Sunil Gavascar, David Gooch and Graeme Smith. Gill’s consistent brilliance with BAT on this tour was one of the few clear places for India. He showed a remarkable calm, scoring runs in demanding conditions and often leads rescue efforts from the front. His four centuries have come in the series with huge pressure on his shoulders – as a dough and as a newly named Indian captain of India.

India vs England Rain, weather forecast: Can SHUBMAN GILL-KL Rahul pull out stunning draws?
On the 4th day Gill sewed vital partnership with Kl Rahul to help India recover from a disastrous beginning and maintain hopes for a draw alive. Since the rain is threatened to interrupt the game on the last day, Gill’s contribution could prove to be essential in saving the test and maintaining India in the series. From the promise to the presence of Gill’s Tour of England 2025, it goes to one age.
